Going - Good. Fine

Formscan By Gary Carson - Willie Mullins obviously has a strong hand in this and TULLYHILL can get off the mark now over fences at the third attempt. He has had to settle for second best behind a couple of stablemates this term, most notably Majborough on his chase debut, and this looks like a nice opportunity to get his turn now. Mirazur West takes a drop in class after beating one home in the Grade 1 at Limerick over Christmas. He should play a bigger part now. The Gordon Elliott-trained What’s Up Darling ran well at Leopardstown over Christmas, when chasing home Jeannot Lapin, and is another that has to be on the shortlist.
